Why Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh offers the amenities and opportunities of a major metropolitan area while remaining more accessible than many comparably sized cities. Livability named Pittsburgh one of its Top 100 Best Places to Live in 2025, and Realtor.com ranked it the most affordable large housing market in the country in 2025.

The city has also earned recognition for the experiences available outside of work. Pittsburgh ranked No. 13 among America’s Best Foodie Cities for 2026 and No. 16 nationally in the Trust for Public Land’s 2026 ParkScore Index, with more than 93% of residents living within a walkable half mile of a park.

Residents can choose from vibrant city neighborhoods, walkable boroughs, and family-friendly suburban communities. The region offers nationally recognized museums and performing arts, major-league sports, an expanding restaurant and brewery scene, extensive parks and riverfront trails, and convenient access to hiking, biking, skiing, and other four-season recreation. Pittsburgh provides room to build both a rewarding career and a life outside of work.

Avets offers a competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package.
